Superstorm Sandy conditions measured at Cary weather station

Thursday, November 8, 2012

The Cary Institute has been monitoring weather conditions at our state-of-the-art environmental monitoring station since 1988. The long-term data from this station can be used to tell us about our changing climate and allows us to collect continuous measurements during extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy.

Our Environmental Monitoring Station collects temperature and precipitation data as well as variables related to air pollution, such as acid rain, air quality, and streamwater chemistry.
